Doo do …

When I called Chae Yeon-hee, the dial tone lasted quite a long time.

He’s probably taking a deep breath when he sees the phone ringing.

A smile spread across my face as I imagined her like that.

“Hello, hello… ?”

After a while, the beeping sound stopped and Chae Yeon-hee’s voice was heard from the phone.

As expected, his voice was full of tension.

“Ah, teacher.”

“Yes, student Seoha.”

“Did you eat dinner?”

“No. I haven’t eaten yet. What about Seoha?”

It was a huge step forward for you to ask questions of your own following an answer.

It seems like he’s gained some confidence even outside of the game.

I was really impressed by how hard she was trying.

I want to pat that butt like crazy.

“I just ate tteokbokki.”

“Ah, tteokbokki.”

… ?

Is that the end?

Wouldn’t it be normal to ask where the tteokbokki was and if it tasted good?

It seemed like Chae Yeon-hee’s communication skills were limited to this extent.

It seems that this was the only time he showed an unexpected side of himself.

What kind of one-time item is this?

“What do you want to eat for dinner tonight, teacher?”

In the end, it seemed like I had no choice but to lead the conversation.

Well, it was my fault for expecting something big from Gemsoon.

“I didn’t really think about it… .”

“It’s not ramen again, is it?”

“How about ramen…?”

“I told you to eat well. You might as well buy a packed lunch from the convenience store. There are a lot of packed lunches these days.”

“Then I have to go out… ?”

Why do we express the obvious as a question?

It seems like the outside world is like a dungeon to Chae Yeon-hee.

Than that.

“These days, even convenience stores deliver.”

“Huh…? Really?”

“Yes, there is an app, so look it up. It delivers lunch boxes and triangle kimbap… . But you don’t plan on only eating convenience store food, right?”

“Oh, yes. You said you’d make side dishes for me tomorrow. I’ll eat with that from now on.”

Fortunately, you didn’t forget your promise.

It’s good to listen to what you say.

Well then, let’s stop exchanging greetings here and get to the main point.

“Then enjoy your dinner and send me your address via KakaoTalk.”

“Address…?”

“I need to know the address to go to the teacher’s house tomorrow.”

“Oh, that’s what you were talking about. Yes, I’ll send it right away.”

“Okay, then I’ll hang up. Enjoy your meal.”

“Yes, see you tomorrow.”

After finishing the call, I got out of the car and went straight into the house.

Since I came back from going out, I think I’ll wash up first.

As I entered the shower room, I hummed a tune in anticipation of my date tomorrow.

After finishing my shower, I checked the date course for tomorrow and the recipe for the side dish I would make for Chae Yeon-hee.

It’s not easy to seduce a woman.

It’s all effort, effort.

Because love isn’t something that’s just given.

If you hesitate like Lee Seo-ha in the original, you will lose even the fish you caught.

widely-.

After finishing all the checks, I closed the laptop.

And then I went straight to bed, looking forward to tomorrow.

It’s a little early, but I guess that’s okay.

* * * * *

The next day, I stopped by a nearby shopping mall before going to Chae Yeon-hee.

Because you need ingredients to make a side dish.

I was also thinking of buying a gift to give her.

‘Should I have come with you?’

It was clearly my mistake to miss out on such a great event.

It would have been nice if we had gone shopping together and felt like newlyweds.

We must definitely come together next time.

I started to go shopping, pulling the cart, feeling regretful inside.

First, buy some squid strips, gochujang, and mushrooms… .

As I was walking around the mart, the side dish corner suddenly caught my eye.

A variety of side dishes were abundant beyond the transparent glass.

Of course, you can buy these ready-made products and give them to them.

The taste is somewhat guaranteed, so there shouldn’t be any particular problem.

But that doesn’t mean you can show sincerity.

This is how much I care about you.

Besides, where else would you find a homely man who cooks?

This is also all about scoring points.

‘But what about crab sauce… Oh, there’s shrimp sauce too.’

Wouldn’t it be okay to buy things that are difficult to make?

It would be better if you made it for no reason and failed, rather than being in trouble.

Before putting the side dishes in the cart, I called Chae Yeon-hee.

Dooroo-.

I thought the call would last a long time this time too, but

“Huh, huh… Hello, hello… .”

Surprisingly, Chae Yeon-hee answered the phone early.

However, he was quite out of breath.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m cleaning the house… .”

It’s been a few days since I said I’d come by the house, and now you’re cleaning it up?

Or are you just fixing the parts that have already been cleaned up?

I don’t know which one it was, but I figured out why I was gasping for breath.

I almost misunderstood and thought you were doing it alone.

“Do you have any allergies? Like crustaceans, nuts, peaches, etc. ”

“Oh, no, that’s not it. I’m eating well.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll be there soon.”

“Yes, please come safely.”

I hung up the phone and immediately put the side dishes I had been looking at into my cart.

I’m so glad I don’t have a shellfish allergy.

The last time I went to a restaurant with Yoon A-ram, they served raw crab, and it was a shame that I couldn’t eat it.

After I finished shopping and even bought some gifts, I left the store and loaded the items into my car.

‘Wow, there’s more than I thought.’

I didn’t realize it when I was putting them in one by one, but after loading them like this, there was quite a lot.

Are you feeling burdened?

I hope that isn’t the case.

I closed the backseat door with that feeling of anxiety in my arms.

Then, I got into the driver’s seat, started the car, and entered Chae Yeon-hee’s home address into the navigation system.

I put the gear into drive and stepped on the accelerator and the car started moving.

What kind of place is Chae Yeon-hee’s house, which never appeared in the original work?

I’m really looking forward to it.

Shortly after, I arrived at my destination and parked my car in a suitable spot.

Chae Yeon-hee’s house was an apartment.

Just a really ordinary apartment.

It seems that not all heroines live in special places.

With both hands full of luggage, I took the elevator and arrived in front of Chae Yeon-hee’s house.

Ding dong-.

As soon as I rang the doorbell, a loud noise could be heard from inside.

What the heck? Did you fall over or something?

As I was pondering such questions, the lock was released and the door opened.

“Hello.”

“Hey, come in first… .”

I followed Chae Yeon-hee into the house.

The house was overall clean.

No, rather, there was so little of it that it felt empty.

More than that… .

“Did you fall?”

“I came out in a hurry, so it’s a bit… .”

“You’re not seriously hurt, are you?”

“Oh, yeah. It’s okay. I’ll just get dazed.”

It was fortunate that no one was seriously hurt, despite the loud noise.

‘Let’s see, the kitchen… .’

Soon I found the kitchen and put down the luggage I was holding in one hand.

And then I carried the rest of my luggage and headed to the living room.

“But what did you buy?”

Chae Yeon-hee tilted her head and asked, still holding the luggage in her hands.

“This is a gift from the teacher.”

“Seo, a gift?”

A look of bewilderment appeared in Chae Yeon-hee’s eyes.

I guess you never expected me to prepare a gift.

I paid no attention to her reaction and started taking out the items from the shopping bag one by one.

“This is a nutritional supplement. It contains a lot of multivitamins, iron, phosphorus, etc. Take one a day after meals. You need to take care of your eye health.”

“Oh, yes.”

“And this is good for you. It helps with fatigue recovery, so be sure to eat this too.”

“Thank you… .”

“And lastly, a set of cutlery. I bought it because I was a little empty-handed. It’s not expensive, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you so much… . I don’t know what item I should give you… .”

Are you saying that you’ll repay me with game items for giving me a gift?

It felt amazing in another sense how the accident led to that.

“I didn’t mean to receive anything in return. You don’t have to do it like that.”

“Then I… .”

“If you really care, buy me a meal next time. Of course, not today, but next time.”

“I’ll definitely buy you something delicious.”

I made my next appointment with this.

I don’t know when that will be, but if you want to meet, just mention this promise.

“Then I’ll use the kitchen now. The teacher is organizing the presents.”

I said that and got up.

I would like to take it easy a bit, but unfortunately I can’t.

Because in order to enjoy a date outside for even a little while, you have to keep busy.

Finally, I arrived at the kitchen and first looked at the cooking utensils.

It would be a big problem if you don’t have a knife, cutting board, or frying pan.

I thought that something like that would never happen, but it was Chae Yeon-hee’s house, so I didn’t know if it would happen.

Fortunately, when I opened the drawers and cupboards, I found most of the cooking utensils there.

It seems like he did some cooking in the beginning when he first started living alone.

I started cooking without hesitation.

From marinated seaweed, stir-fried mushrooms, braised tofu, etc.

I was very busy because I had a lot to do.

It was when I was preparing ingredients while wearing an apron.

Before I knew it, I had finished organizing the gifts, and Chae Yeon-hee was fidgeting behind me.

I glanced at her and then spoke again, concentrating on preparing the ingredients.

“Why are you doing that?”

“I was wondering if there was anything I could help you with… .”

“Oh, then please fry that in a frying pan.”

He said he wanted to cook with me, so there’s no way I could refuse.

Such events are very welcome.
